Rubellite Tourmaline Gem: Meaning, Price & Benefits
Rubellite is a rare and sought-after tourmaline gemstone variety with romantic red and pink hues. The tourmaline crystal is often associated with rubies, though they’re different gems.
Well, is pink tourmaline and rubellite the same thing? Answers differ, but most would say “pink tourmaline” is another name for rubellite. However, some rare pink hues appear in other tourmaline varieties.
Regardless, rubellite is known for its red hues. But did you know that red is the rarest gemstone color? Rubellite joins ruby and red spinel in being the only gems with such pure, lush, dark red coloring, only adding to rubellite’s allure.
What Is Rubellite Tourmaline?
Rubellite is a semi-precious gemstone, though it shares similar hues and etymology with the precious gemstone ruby.
Speaking of names, rubellite may be spelled rubelite or rubylite. Other nicknames include apyrite, aphrite, and red schorl, though red schorl is more often a rutile synonym.
As a tourmaline, rubellite is an October birthstone, Libra zodiac stone, and 8th wedding anniversary gem. Rubellite specifically commemorates the 5th anniversary and is a star stone for the sun.
The crystal’s resemblance to ruby makes it a more affordable substitute for ruby — be it as a July birthstone or 40th wedding anniversary gift.
Rubellite Specifications & Characteristics
The rubellite mineral is under the tourmaline series elbaite, a group of sodium aluminum lithium borosilicates. Elbaites are the most colorful group and contain the most gem-quality varieties. Other elbaite tourmalines include indicolite, Paraiba tourmaline, and chrome tourmaline.
On some occasions, some rubellites may classify as liddicoatite — a rare series similar to elbaite but with calcium instead of sodium — or olenite — a series with high aluminum content that forms a series with schorl (black tourmaline) and elbaite. However, the majority of rubellites are elbaite tourmalines.
As mentioned up top, some gemologists differentiate pink tourmaline from rubellite. In general, the purported difference between rubellite vs. pink tourmaline is that rubellite’s color is much more saturated.
Additionally, some also claim “rubellite” only refers to red tourmalines that maintain a red color under different types of lighting.
Below are the remaining rubellite properties:
Mohs hardness: 7-7.5
Color: Mostly saturated shades of red, pink; Can be violet-red, brownish-red, orange-red
Crystal structure: Hexagonal (trigonal)
Luster: Vitreous (glassy)
Transparency: Transparent to opaque
Refractive index: 1.619-1.655
Density: 3.01-3.06
Cleavage: None
Fracture: Conchoidal or uneven/irregular
Streak: White
Luminescence: Fluorescence sometimes present but weak - red to violet in SW-UV & LW-UV
Pleochroism: Present in colorless to medium pink/light pink or pinkish-red to dark red
Birefringence: 0.014-0.040
Dispersion: 0.017 (moderate)
Optical effects: Sometimes chatoyancy, color-change

Waarom overbieden gebruikers zichzelf?
Wanneer een bod wordt geplaatst, is dit het maximale bedrag dat een persoon bereid is te bieden voor het product. Ons systeem zal dan automatisch bieden namens de bieder, waarbij het bod stapsgewijs wordt verhoogd tot het maximum om hun positie als hoogste bieder te behouden.
Wanneer er een pictogram is dat 'Automatisch bod' aangeeft, betekent dit dat ons systeem actief biedingen plaatst voor de bieder op basis van hun maximale bod. Dit kan lijken alsof bieders zichzelf overbieden, maar het is gewoon een resultaat van het systeem dat het bod bijwerkt om de maximale limiet van de bieder weer te geven.
